We’d like to offer an update on our long-awaited anthology of all of Francis Parker Yockey’s extant shorter writings, many previously unpublished: The World in Flames (click for details). We have come across German versions of some of Yockey’s essays that were published in the Buenos Aires-based journal Der Weg during the 1950s; in some cases, the English originals have been lost. We are looking to see which new essays we can discover and are having them translated back into English for inclusion in this volume. Read more …

The public career of Rev. Charles E. Coughlin during the 1930s and early ‘40s is massively documented. Newsreels, publications, speeches, and broadcast recordings are all at your fingertips online. Yet the historical significance of this Canadian-American prelate (1891-1979) is maddeningly elusive. You may have read that he was an immensely popular but controversial “radio priest” with a decidedly populist-nationalist bent, or that he published a weekly magazine called Social Justice (1936-1942), Read more …

Earlier this year, Counter-Currents put out a request for the text of the following essay, given that the original copy which we had was incomplete due to having been partially eaten by rats. Fortunately, we were able to locate the complete text, and it is reproduced below, as it will be in our upcoming Yockey anthology, The World in Flames. The Preface is by Dr. Kerry Bolton. — John Morgan

Of the many long-lost texts by Francis Parker Yockey that will be included in our upcoming anthology of Yockey’s shorter writings, The World in Flames, one is a four-part essay entitled “Brotherhood.” Kerry Bolton and I had to search far and wide to find a complete copy of the text, as we announced during our search earlier this year, but find it we finally did, and we offer it here as a prelude to our patient readers who have been awaiting the finalized volume. The Preface is by Dr. Bolton. — John Morgan Read more …

Francis Parker Yockey was born 101 years ago today, September 18, in Chicago. He died in San Francisco on June 16, 1960, an apparent suicide. Yockey is one of America’s greatest anti-liberal thinkers and an abiding influence on the North American New Right. In honor of his birthday, I wish to draw the reader’s attention to the following works on this site.

We have two remaining pieces missing from our anthology of Francis Parker Yockey’s shorter writings, The World in Flames, and we are asking to see if any of our readers can help with them. The first is Yockey’s “China estimate,” that he wrote shortly before his death and which received limited circulation in photocopies in the 1970s. We’ve asked about this before, and we do have a lead on it, but if anyone else has a copy of it, it would help to expedite matters. Read more …

The writings of Francis Parker Yockey have fascinated the far Right for a half-century and more. I would argue that the person most responsible for this popularity is the late classics professor Revilo P. Oliver. While Prof. Oliver had little practical input in the distribution of Yockey writings (that credit would go more to Willis Carto and George Dietz), it was Oliver’s imprimatur that lent Yockey a gravitas that ensured he would be cherished as something other than the author of some controversial, obscurantist tracts.

Our anthology of Francis Parker Yockey’s shorter writings, many previously unpublished, The World in Flames (click for details), has been briefly delayed due to the recent discovery of some previously unknown summaries of and excerpts from issues of Frontfighter, the journal of Yockey’s organization, the European Liberation Front, in FBI files. These are currently being added to the book. Also, we would like to ask if any Counter-Currents readers have a copy of an essay that Yockey wrote on China in 1959, shortly before his death.

The following is the text of a letter dating from 1950 that Francis Parker Yockey wrote to Adrien Arcand, and is excerpted from Counter-Currents’ imminent publication, The World in Flames, which collects all of Yockey’s extant shorter writings. Arcand was a Québécois Canadian, the leader of the corporatist and Catholic National Unity Party, and a great admirer of Yockey. Read more …

Book Editor John Morgan is currently putting the finishing touches on our volume of all of Francis Parker Yockey’s extant shorter writings, The World in Flames. But we need your help concerning one of the essays it contains. In the very first issue of Union, the newspaper of Sir Oswald Mosley’s post-war Union Movement, which was published on February 14, 1948, Yockey contributed an article entitled, “1848–1948: Years of Decision.” Read more …

In honor of Francis Parker Yockey’s 100th birthday on September 18, 2017, Charles Krafft has created two Francis Parker Yockey memorial plates, incorporating Yockey’s mug shots from his arrest in June of 1960, plus a news clipping and a quote from Imperium.

This is a translation by D. G. of a 1982 letter and two enclosures from Maurice Bardèche to Keith Stimely. I wish to thank Mark Weber for providing a copy. The location of the French original of the letter and the accompanying note is not known. The translation of the pages of Suzanne and the Slums can clearlybe improved in places by consulting the original. — Greg Johnson

This week, our fundraising appeal is from Kerry Bolton, who is authoring what will surely be the definitive biography of Francis Parker Yockey. Recently, I paid a substantial amount for Yockey-related materials that belonged to the late Willis Carto. Thus I am making a special appeal to cover the cost of that purchase. I will make all these items available to Dr. Bolton and other researchers.

Counter-Currents is sponsoring two events in August and September. Both events are private, invitation-only gatherings. Who attends and what is said are off the record. If you are a friend of Counter-Currents, or if you would like to submit your name for “extreme vetting,” please contact Greg Johnson at [email protected]. Read more …

There is much about The Communist Manifesto that is valid from a Rightist viewpoint – if analyzed from a reactionary perspective. One does not need to be a Marxist to accept that a dialectical interpretation of history is one of several methods by which history can be studied, albeit not in a reductionist sense, but in tandem with other methods such as, in particular, the cyclical morphology of Oswald Spengler,[1] the economic morphology of civilizations as per Brooks Adams,[2] the cultural vitalism of Yockey,[3] and the heroic vitalism of Carlyle.

Two centennials of great importance to the North American New Right are approaching. September 18, 2017 is the 100th birthday of Francis Parker Yockey, and March 9, 2018 is the 100th birthday of George Lincoln Rockwell. Read more …

Francis Parker Yockey was born on this day in 1917 in Chicago. He died in San Francisco on June 16, 1960, an apparent suicide. Yockey is one of America’s greatest anti-liberal thinkers and an abiding influence on the North American New Right. In honor of his birthday, I wish to draw the reader’s attention to the following works on this site.

Oswald Spengler’s radical contribution to the philosophy of history was to observe that different Cultures and Civilizations are discrete life forms and that they all have a certain life-expectancy. The linear progression of history, from the Stone Age to the prevailing Western liberalism, is a myth. There is no single line of history running through all of humanity. Instead, Cultures are born, they grow to maturity, they age, and they die. Read more …

Willis Allison Carto died Monday night in Virginia, full of years (89), achievements, and honors. But this memorial tribute is nevertheless way overdue. If you know the broad outlines of Mr. Carto’s life (biography review here) you know that he was, for well over a half-century, the founder and patron of those political movements we now variously call Paleoconservatism, Race-Realism, White Nationalism . . . or Alt Right.

“That is what the craving for the peace of fellahdom, for protection against everything that disturbs the daily routine, against destiny in every form, would seem to intimate: a sort of protective mimicry vis-à-vis world history, human insects feigning death in the face of danger, the “happy ending” of an empty existence, the boredom of which has brought in jazz music and negro dancing to perform the Dead March for a great Culture.”
